Monumental Blocks

The shapes of the city are often translated into printed and surface elements of fashion garments, such as our Chinti + Parker collaboration, Conscious Cloth meets Conscious Pattern. Designer Yuri Pardi’s Monument collection took this one step further by creating pieces that reference the sculptural geometry of Brutalist buildings.

In the collection, grey wool resembles cool concrete. Full dresses transform the body. Cropped jackets are matched with elongated skirts. Jutting breeze-block shapes resemble spines on an urban Stegosaurus. Sharp crenellations and sensuous curves create a mobile metropolis.
